Get your favorite internet videos

We all know how YouTube has changed our present day reach to our favourite music and videos.

I would like to share how YouTube has helped me find the music and videos I love from yesterday.

I have found songs from the 90s. Music videos from classics like 'sound of music'. Every video made by Michael Jackson. And so much more.

The reason to write here is not to tell you about YouTube. That you would definitely know about, if you reached my scribble.

What I would like to share is TubeMate. A brilliant application which lets you save videos and extracted audio from YouTube.

I now have high quality videos from my favorites in YouTube, which I can access without the internet access.

A sample screen from YouTube video saving is given below.

What Phone should I Buy?

In today's wide spread mobile phone options,  it does get tricky to ensure you are spending money for the appropriate device. 

I have followed mobile phones from the black n white basic phones to the present age of augmented reality and the cloud. 

I have tried to put together some basic two tips to follow while buying yourself a new mobile phone. 

Here you go. 

Device Specifications to consider - 

Depending on Feature or Smart devices, here is my quick selection advise for getting yourself a new mobile phone

FEATURE - If you plan to buy a feature device, stick to devices made by the likes of NOKIA/ SAMSUNG these device builders at least have QA Teams to test the device for basic quality issues before the device is sent out to reach the customer.
There are plenty of options, if you are willing to risk or gamble with a new brand, you always have options outside the above two brands, which have years of quality proven to the consumer.


SMART - This is when it gets tricky :)

So let me try and make it simple, leaving price and brand aside, this is how i would approach buying a mobile phone today, if i had to get myself a smart phone.

First filter - OS - Android/ IOS/ Windows - I prefer Android, since you get maximum freedom on this platform. However if your budget restricts you to 1GB ram, please consider Windows 8.1, it is performing better than most of the 1GB android devices. You must be wondering why i have not mentioned IOS, well IOS is not my choice, due to the OS rigidity on customization options. So if you have 1GB RAM, get yourself a Windows 8.1 device, preferably Nokia. If your budgets exceeds the 1GB RAM, android is a good buy - but which brand and what device?

Provided your budget is flexible - Below is the process to follow
What makes a device fly?  - Processing speed + GPU, RAM and obviously the precious Battery mAMP. These are the fundamentals to check before you go blowing off the money on your investments.

IOS - Well this OS is for the user, who does not want any customisation on the device software level. This device also gets a customer to pay for most of the basic applications you would get FREE on Android or even Windows.

My recommendations for phones to buy by OS platform below -
Android - Buy a nexus, nothing else compares to performance.
Windows - Buy a Nokia, after all they perfected Windows for the phone.
IOS - We know only APPLE for this OS.
Blackberry - I will never recommend this brand, even with Android, it is no comparison to the other smart devices in the market. 

Hope these quick tips HELP!
